Twitter blocks access to accounts associated with farmers protesting against the Indian government on Monday, in a localized blackout of around 250 accounts and tweets. The blocks, which only applied for viewers based in India, comes after the Indian government hit Twitter with a legal demand. After the blockages draw widespread condemnation online, Twitter said it has unblocked all the accounts late on Monday. According to Twitter, company representatives had met with Indian government officials to convey that the tweets constituted free speech and are newsworthy.
